Nice to meet you! My surgery is this coming wednesday, 4 days away. I'm somewhat anxious and definitely excited. My close friend is having weight loss surgery the same day, same hospital, and same doctor as me, so we've been able to keep each other sane.

Did anyone not lose that much weight during their preop diet?

I’m on day 5 of 10 of a 5 shakes/day diet and I’ve only lost 4.6 lb! I have my pre op testing tomorrow and am worried what they’ll say, esp. b/c people here seem to lose 10-15 lb (or more!) in the typical 2 weeks 😱

Part of me is a bit disappointed too, b/c a bigger loss pre op seems like a good kickstart to the whole process?

Sorry tough are frustrated. Have you added exercise? My pre-op required 30 minutes of walking a day. Maybe that would help?

Yes! Thanks for starting this! I am married mother of 2 grown daughters, 2 grandsons, 1 granddaughter and 1 grand baby on the way. I lost my Mom and Grandma last year. I decided to have surgery to try to be the best version of me I can be and enjoy healthy life for as long as I can with my family. I had sleeve done on June 4. I am 5’4” and was 214 going into surgery. I’m really looking forward to meeting some people enduring this challenging journey all at the same time.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
